Continuing my quest to educate my unknowing little cousin about the wonders Disney World cuisine has to offer…
Snacks!
It’s hot. You got up early. You’ve been walking a lot, and because you followed your friendly Pal Leah guide, you are waiting until the off hours to eat lunch at your favorite counter service.
What to do?
Time to follow Leah! To…
In my travels through the interwebs, I discovered this very cool CD that features the demo, work-in-progress, and cut songs from Disney’s Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin.
Before you get too excited, at $61.77, the CD runs a little steep. However, it got me looking into the songs featured on the fourth disc, the songs written for the Aladdin that almost were but weren’t. Which I would now like to share with you!
Dear Reader, I have a mission for you.
There’s something that’s been bugging me for a few years. The inexplicable phenomena that is the color of Cinderella’s dress.
With all the excitement yesterday, I forgot to mention that Disney revealed a portion of a ride simulation of their upcoming dark ride/coaster combo, “Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Coaster.”
It’s here it’s here it’s here it’s here IT’S HERE!!!!

So a few hours after I blogged about all the dragon hype, Disney released a tweet containing this video. They did release their dragon tonight, a special treat for the media event celebrating New Fantasyland. Happy Birthday Walt, have a dragon!
If you’re like me, you’ve been following Gary B on Twitter as he posts all of Disney’s “dragon updates.” If you’re not, you should. He’s the one behind the official parks blog who has been teasing us with all the videos and photos lately.
Mostly these videos have been using CGI dragons, but this latest one seems to feature the actual mechanical dragon. Along with some pretty killer pajamas…
Feeling evil lately? I am.

Well, what better way to express your wicked ways than through song?
Nothing springs to mind.
Let’s explore Disney’s best sinful serenades, shall we?
Dirty Disney.
There’s a lot of it. Hidden away in subtle little corners of their musical walls. I’ll be talking more about it as time passes.
This is just a little gem I discovered a few years ago. It was a song written for the workshop of The Little Mermaid’s Broadway run. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, it did not make the final cut. Menken did use this song, however, as the basis on which he created Tangled’s “Mother Knows Best.”
Why do I feel this song is blog worthy? Because it has sneaky little lyrics about parties that “dwindle down until you’re unconscious on the bathroom floor” and “handsome Romeos” that go “bald on top and soft below.”
Not kidding.
Listen yourself if you don’t believe me.
